Avoid parts by TRQ, mostly Chinese stuff.

Re: Hot rotor, hot caliper, hot rim… Hot Wheel!

A seized RR brake can be caused by:

1. Seized caliper (but you installed a new caliper).

2. Internal swelling of brake hose. If you want to remove the brake hose, consider some heat.
This was discussed in P80 forum at length.

3. Stuck valve inside the ABS hydraulic module. Try to bleed it again.

Fcpeuro lists sway bar and endlinks for your year.
Maybe the previous owner removed it?

Likely broken rad neck, common problem in old car.
Just tow it home.
Search FCPEuro for rad review.
When in doubt, use Volvo genuine part.
Time to replace both hoses too.

Most of the VIDA codes are not that important.
I use a regular code reader, if no CEL codes, I am fine.

- Tap the CV joint stud with rubber hammer until it touches the c-clip.
- Then gently "tuck" the c-clip underneath while hammering a bit more. If you have 2nd person, it is better but I have done this by myself for years.

Re: S60 2.5T Spark Plugs: Use only Bosch (or Volvo)!

If you did a little homework first, then you would not have bought Autolite plugs. We already talked about it years ago.

Bosch or NGK is fine. I have been using both brands.

Currently, NGK Iridium is what I use.
